#1 Memo
CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE MEMORANDUM
November 4, 2011
TO: Citizens Advisory Committee on Appointments
FROM: Rebecca Smith, Management Assistant
SUBJECT: November 11, 2011 Meeting
Please find below a portion of the items comprising the meeting agenda with additional information
provided.
Approval of October 20, 2011 meeting minutes
Please find attached the minutes from the October 20, 2011 meeting for the committee’s review and
approval.
Selection of recommended nominees for the following Boards, Commissions and Committees
There is a vacancy on the Community Development Authority. Please find attached a fact sheet. Also
attached are the application forms for the individuals interested in serving.
The citizen the committee originally recommended to serve on the CDA is not a resident and
therefore can’t be appointed to this position. (State statute requires CDA members to be residents.)
On his application he used his work address and staff didn’t know he was a non-resident until he was
called to confirm his interest in serving. This is the first time we have had this issue; staff will modify
the form to make it clearer that home addresses are needed.
At the October 20 meeting one of the citizens in attendance indicated she applied, but staff did not
have her application and it was not distributed to the committee. After the meeting, staff checked the
records and staff did not have her application on file. When staff determined another meeting of the
committee was necessary due to the non-residency of the recommended volunteer, staff contacted
the citizen. Staff requested she complete an application if she is interested in serving on the CDA.
The citizen submitted her application and it is included with this agenda packet for the committee’s
review.
Following any committee discussion, staff asks the committee recommend an applicant for
nomination. Members may make a motion to nominate an applicant; once a second is received, a
vote will be taken. A simple majority is needed (3 of 5 votes).
